Our search was mainly in the area of Bakshibazar and Banani. For collecting primary data’s we needed to survey at those areas. We have discussed many things with the street children. But only discussing with them was not enough for taking the main decision. That is why we also talked with some people who live in those areas. We talked with a lady named Salma begum. She lives in Bakshibazar. She told many things about the street children of those areas. After that we also asked some question to Mr. Firoz who has a permanent tea stall at Bakshibazar.

In our research, we came to know there is a school in Palashi, where many street children take education. The school’s name is ‘Palashi Primary school’. We went there and talked with the teachers.

Basically, it was a very helpful project for us. We have learnt many things about the street children of our country. That is why, we are thankful to our course instructor Dr. Md. Taufiqur Islam sir.

Above all, we are thankful to almighty Allah for helping us in every ways.

We are dedicating this whole project to all the street children of Bangladesh.

...The City Of DhakaDhaka is the capital of Bangladesh. Located on the banks of the River Buriganga, the city has a population of about 7 million, making it one of the largest cities in the region. It has a colourful history and known as the 'City of Mosques.' Modern Dhaka is the center of political, cultural and economic life in Bangladesh.
Dhaka was successively ruled by the Turkish and Afghan governors descending from the Delhi Sultanate before the arrival of the Mughals in 1608.
Under Mughal rule in the 17th century, the city was also known as Jahangir Nagar, and was both a provincial capital and a centre of the worldwide muslim trade. The development of modern city was started under British rule in the 19th century, and soon became the second-largest city in Bengal after Calcutta (presently Kolkata). After the partition of India in 1947, Dhaka became the administrative capital of East Pakistan, and later, in 1972, the capital of an independent Bangladesh.
The main expansion of the city took place under Mughal general Shaista Khan. The city then measured 19 by 13 kilometres with a population of nearly a million people. The city passed to the control of the British East India Company in 1765 after the Battle of Plassey.

...Street child is a term for a child experiencing homelessness and who primarily resides in the streets of a city (typically in a developing country). The exact definition of a street child is debatable due to the lack of precise categories. The term has largely been used in reference to children who live entirely in public spaces, without adult supervision or care. Streetchildren are often subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or, in extreme cases, murder by "clean-up squads" that have been hired by local businesses or police. In Western societies, such children are commonly treated as homeless children, rather than criminals or solicitors.
The definition of "streetchildren" is contested, but many practitioners and policymakers use UNICEF’s concept of boys and girls, aged under eighteen years, for whom "the street" (including unoccupied dwellings and wasteland) has become home and/or their source of livelihood, and who are inadequately protected or supervised (Black, 1993).[3]
Streetchildren can be found in a large majority of the world's cities, with the phenomenon more prevalent in densely-populated urban hubs of developing or economically unstable countries, such as India, China, Russia, and countries in Africa. According to a report from the Consortium...

Children are the innocent creature of God, needs support of their elders. When they don’t get support, they spend their lives with fear of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Olusanya (2005) defines streetchildren as: “the generic term used to refer to children who use the street for their daily survival.” Streetchildren are an example of globally deprived human who get unequal economic and social support along with deprivation of basic necessities. Children are like growing flowers that must be poured with right to healthy life, education and respect; but rights of streetchildren are neglected. With increasing world population, numbers of streetchildren are increasing. According to SPARC newsletter 2006, 1.2 million children are reported as streetchildren in Pakistan out of which 25,000 are in Karachi (Gulrez, 2006, p.205).
